The Ultimate Mac OS X Handbook 2016

Apple has done it again! Hot on the heels of last year’s OS X 10.10 Yosemite, it has released the new OS X 10.11 El Capitan, which takes using a Mac to even greater levels of excellence. While the look and feel of El Capitan is very much like Yosemite (El Capitan is, after all, a particular rock formation in Yosemite National Park), there have been some important additions that make using a
Mac easier than ever. Of particular note is Split View, a great new way of working with two apps at once, and there have been some important improvements in Mission Control that make it easier than ever to switch between your open programs and work more productively on your Mac. There are also great improvements in Photos, Spotlight and Notes, and Disk Utility has been updated. We cover all these innovations in the guide you hold in your hands. Apple has been busy in other areas since Yosemite was released, too. For example, there’s the new Apple Music service, which we cover in full here, and a brand new version of iTunes to play with. Apple’s iCloud service is also going from strength to strength, making it easier than ever to collaborate on documents with other people, and back your data up to the cloud. I hope you enjoy this guide to El Capitan, and it helps you to get more than ever out of using a Mac. OS X just keeps getting better and better.
